The moment a crane smashes to the ground in the middle of a road full of workmen was captured in this terrifying dashcam footage.

The dramatic video shows the crane driver picking up a girder too heavy for his machine during roadworks in South Korea on Saturday morning.

The driver of the car that captured the horrifying accident was forced to slam on the brakes as the crane quickly fell across the road.

A workman looks on in horror as the crane comes down and the top hits a lorry parked across the road, completely crushing the cab. Workmen are seen jumping from neighbouring cars and trucks as they rush out of the way. A man in a truck next to the crane appears to be thrown from his cab by the force of the crane hitting it.

Rabbi Yoel Roth Shlit"a Rosh Yeshiva of Tiferes HaTorah, Brooklyn, NY, discusses the joy one should have when performing a Mitzvah, such as Tefillin.

He relates a story of a Chabad Chosid who came to Rabbi Eliezer Shlomo Schick ZT"L, (known to his followers as Mohorosh) while feeling down with himself. The Lubavitcher came to the Rabbi for his words of support. He told the Rabbi the only satisfaction he had with himself was that today he put on Tefillin with other Jews; 17 to be exact. Rabbi Schick responded "you actually put Tefillin on 18 Jews, not 17." The Chosid was perplexed. But the Rabbi insisted. "You forgot to count yourself!" he said.

A lamp post saved a very lucky pedestrian in Poland from being hit by a speeding car that became involved in an accident in the central Polish city of Kalisz. Surveillance video showed the moment the cars collided - and the escape.

It might look like a stunt from a superhero film but, in a world first, three men and eight French Air force planes have flown alongside each other in a spectacular formation.

The Patrouille de France are known for their skillful aerobatic demonstrations but have gone above and beyond with The Jetmen; Yves Rossy, Vince Reffet and Fred Fugen.

​​The stunt flight over the South of France involved 16 different aircraft and lasted for about nine minutes. The display team and Jetmen flew together at an altitude of 1200 m and a speed of 140 knots. According to Fugen, the men came within five meters of the aircraft.

An aerial view taken from a sea plane shows Swiss pilot and original Jetman Yves Rossy (front) and Vince Reffett flying over Dubai's Palm Island, Dubai.
